Question 17x10s on FC?

Does anybody have 17x10" wheels on the rear of their FC without flaring the quarter panels? If so what offset are you running and are you using spacers? Please anyone ASAP!! Thanks!

If you're talking about the "2nd Gen Bolt Pattern (Yet Again)" thread then yeah I saw that one. They talk about it a bit but there wasn't any useful info in there for me. I know 17x9s and 17x9.5s will fit but I REALLY want to run 10s back there! So again anyone?

Weird, that thread didn't come up in any of my searches! Thanks for looking into that for me. But unfortunately I still don't know if they'll fit. Basically I really don't want to take no for an answer here!

I have not actually tried a 17x10 but I do have 15x10's (front and rear) of my race car. With 5" of backspacing they stick OUT from the fenders by about 2.25". The only reason they clear the fenders is because of their small diameter. You could jack up the rear of your car to get the 17x10 to stick out but they will stick out a silly amount. To move them into the wheel well a bit more you could go with more backspacing. But to get them to clear the inside of the fenders I estimate you would need around 7" or 8" of backspacing but at that point your wheels will be hitting springs or other suspension parts on the inside. Based on my 15x10 experiences the answer is NO.

If nothing we reply will ever convince you they will not fit then why post? Just go buy them!
